Sunmachine Fuzz O)))

[Austrian]

Hello,
does anyone here have a schematic for a Sunmachine Fuzz O))).
The pedal is based on a Meathead schematic with lowpass and switchable input filter.
Thanks in advance, greetings from Vienna, Franz

This may be wrong forum for this question. However, you seem to know what it does functionally, so all you need is put it together. Adding a tone control and switchable input caps to a meathead is easy but there are many options. I would suggest starting on a quest to figure out how YOU like those options best, instead of copying someone else's. I am not opposed to cloning per se, but I find it more interesting and rewarding to make something unique and taylor made to my taste.

Cheers,
Andy

The information I got on this pedal from the web site are these: it's a dark meathead with some minor changes: a low pass filter and three switchable input caps (dark and deluxe specs + ultra evil).

Adn this question & answer:
Q: How does the low pass filter work? Just a cap and a pot before the volume pot?
A: yes, pretty much - cap and pot after input

This is the schematic of the Meathead:



And this the Deluxe version schematic:



About the toggle switch that change the input cap.
The Dark has a bigger input cap. I read it's 22nF, but it could be even bigger, 47nF or 470nF.
Maybe even the output cap is bigger, but I think you can't increase too much bass changing it.
The Deluxe Meathead has a tone control, and it seems to me from some demo that Low Pass control in the Sunmachine Fuzz O))) is pretty subtle. It could be the same of the Deluxe version? The Deluxe put in parallel to the 4.7nF input cap a 1uF cap.

Transistors can be any.

The only thing is I don't understand is what is the ultra evil? Maybe just a value cap mode not in the Meathead pedals?

So all these input cap value and the tone control make the Sunmachine Fuzz O))), I guess.

I can't find a gutshot of the pedal, I find just a clone, I don't know how much close it is:

(THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL PEDAL)


I don't think the DIP switch are in the original schematic.
